Hans Ruedi Giger: For those of you who are unfamiliar with H.R. Giger, he is one of those artists that if you have not heard of them, you hear the works they did and you say “Oh yeahhhhh, that’s was him? Wow!”
For those of you who have heard of him, did you know that his works extend further than the silver screen? Not only does he do drawings, paintings, and sculptures, but his work has extended to guitars, furniture, and several other mediums.
Giger, to me, reminds me a lot of Tim Burton. They each have their own distinct style. Although, at times, Burton can be colorful, both artists are primarily dark, each with their own defining characteristics that make them easily recognizable. They are very dark, very mechanical, sometimes reptilian, sometimes scary and sometimes sexual.
For starters, here are some examples of his work as well as a list of his contributions to the big screen:
1967 High and Heimkiller, 1968 Swiss Made, 1969 Early Moming, 1972 Passagen, 1973 Tagtraum, 1975 Giger’s Necronomicon, 1976 Dune (Harkonnen design was not used for the movie), 1977 Giger’s Second Celebration of the Four, 1978 Alien, 1979 Giger’s Alien, 1980 The Tourist (Unrealised), 1981 H.R.Giger’s Dream Quest, 1981 Koo Koo, 1982 A new face of Debbie Harry, 1986 Poltergeist II, 1988 Teito Monogatari, 1990 Alien III, 1991 Alien I-III, 1992 Satanskopf, 1992 Wall to Wall, 1992 Giger’s Passage to the Id, 1992 Omnibus, 1992 Sex, Drugs and Giger, 1993 Brother to Shadows, the Alien World of H.R.Giger, 1995 Species, 1995 Benissimo, 1996 Kondom des Grauens
